Install PHP on Windows without webserver?

Hello,

I have a script that I have written in PHP which searches local files on a system, currently using it on a Mac. I would like to adapt this to use on Windows machines.

My question is, is it possible to install PHP on a windows machine WITHOUT having a webserver, in order to just use the CLI portion of PHP?

Thank you,

Allasso

thank you, I'll give it a try then.

I don't have a Windows machine easily at my disposal, so I wanted to get that clear before investing into it.

I am assuming then I'll just do the PHP install, and ignore the stuff about configuring for the web server.

Much appreciated,

Allasso

I think there's an option for "Do not set up a webserver" if you're installing from binary.
